If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving then won't God be able to bring about justice, preserve our free-will, and also save everyone? If God's love is everlasting, then it seems He will never give up on anyone, either in this life or the next, and will ultimately bring about redemption for all.

Thank you sir ! I have been searching and this is the best explanation ever. It had not escaped me that there are many various words and terms used to describe or denote eternal punishment for unbelievers and your point is succinct that those are all used to discourage us from going that way. This saves me a lot of time trying to figure it out.

To my surprise, this was actually a good reconciling explanation.

God doesn’t send anyone to hell we choose to go there by rejecting the free gift of salvation. Christians/followers of Christ aren’t perfect but just forgiven. If nobody wants to accept Christ now and walk and talk with Jesus then why would you wanna spend eternity with him. We have free will God won’t force his love on us unless we open our hearts to receive the Holy Ghost in our lives and accept Jesus as our savior and redeemer. Think about Lucifer/Satan the angels had free will and were in the presence of God almighty the maker of the heavens and the earth and still wanted to be God and do wickedness. Hell was intended for the demons and Lucifer. Again, God doesn’t send us to hell we choose it by rejecting Jesus Christ as our lord and savior.

♥✞♥23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives.

24 [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,

25 Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment.♥✞♥✞♥
